  • Title: [Comparison of various semi-quantitative tests for determination of urinary glucose in diabetics (author's transl)].
    Author: Dorchy H, Loeb H.
    Journal: Diabete Metab; 1975 Jun; 1(2):87-9. PubMed ID: 1234070.
    Abstract:
    Estimations of urinary glucose in 178 diabetics using 4 tests, Ketodiastix, Tes-Tape, Clinitest 5/10 and Clinitest 2/10 were compared with polarimetric determinitation. Clinitest is more accurate and specific, and as reliable as enzymatic methods. The widened scale of Clinitest 2/10 permits the detection and satisfactory estimation of glycosuria ranging from 0,25% to 5%; it is specially suitable for monitoring the labile insulin dependent diabetes of children or adolescents. Enzymatic methods are suitable for the qualitative detection of glycosuria, for the control of stable, maturity-onset diabetes or to meet the need for rapidly available diagnostic information.
